Greenthread successfully completes field trial

In December 2013 the second onshore field trial of Greenthread’s newest proprietary Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) equipment was successfully completed. During the field trial waste fluids from offshore production streams and a variety of other sources were treated for COD/BOD and H2S. After treatment these waste fluids were suitable for disposal at municipal water treatment sites. The field trials validate and improve upon previous onshore field testing and lab trials and provided confirmation of Greenthread’s technology direction for future development. Treatment of waste fluids at this site, using Greenthread’s latest AOP technology, is now ongoing due to the positive results.
